Sunbird Cottage

The magical self-catering Sunbird Cottage at Zeekoevlei is worlds apart from the hustle of the main city hub, but not too far from the best attractions of Cape Town. Part of a nature reserve, the Zeekoevlei area displays a startling contrast between itself and the city's urban spaces. Birds, water, natural plant life and sailing are daily fares here, but more than anything, the comfort of silence and evening darkness is something one would only find in a rural setting.

This quaint cottage is beautifully furnished and consists of one bedroom, and one bathroom with a separate toilet. The kitchen and living room area, which comprises the dining room and lounge, are open-plan and lead out onto a splendid patio with views of the garden and lake. All the necessary facilities that you would expect in a top-class establishment are present, including Wi-Fi Internet access, a music centre, washing machine and portable braai. The unit is serviced once a week and includes an alarm system for your security. Additionally, this quaint cottage sports a perfectly positioned hammock and your own jetty. It's no wonder city life seems to seep out from under your skin within minutes.
